I don't understand why transracial isn't a thing to be honest. If we allow self-identification to override reality in this instance (we obviously don't but you get my drift) then there is literally no reason why we can't allow transracial people to identify however they like, or 'transabled' people to identify how they like either.

There is actually a theory gaining some ground in academia called racial formation theory.
